They will be sent back just needing to be painted. Contact myself for details.

My interest with XU-1 Torana's began with a ride to basketball training when I was about 15-16 yrs of age. I got into this little thunderous sounding car, and after a few hard sideways take-offs, I was hooked. I soon found out it was an LC XU1 Torana. By the time I was 18, I had a March 17th Green, LJ XU-1 Torana. I began making my own XU-1 Torana parts out of need, as I just couldn't find them. I'd borrow an original XU-1 part, make a master copy and go from there. By 1995 I had a range of approx 10 XU-1 Torana parts and sold them in the trading post and to friends. Now I have a list of approx 80 XU-1 Torana parts, and stock some items made by other companies. These include: I also rebuild, tune and restore carbies, service many XU-1's and perform pre-purchase authenticity checks. I can also restore consoles for the LC and LJ Torana's. Hope my website is helpful. Thanks, Brad Merrick.

There are many rebodied and fake XU-1 Torana's so before you outlay your hard earned big $$ have your prospective purchase checked out first. Il'l be adding to this site with more pictures, XU-1 parts and information. Thanks Brad Merrick - XU1 Torana Parts - Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide
